As Michelle walks toward the exit, Tony hands
her an access card. Carrie stops Michelle and
asks about Chappelle's whereabouts. She
accuses Michelle of doing something
underhanded, but Michelle lies her way out of the
situation. Michelle leaves the CTU building.
Counselor Brian Jacobs arrives to see Palmer.
Jacobs explains he can appeal the cabinet's
decision but that it will take time. Palmer gives
him Kingsley's name as the one who manipulated
the evidence. Jacobs agrees to vigorously
pursue this lead regardless of how much Novick
is impeding the investigation.
Michelle calls Tony from a CTU van and warns
him that Carrie is onto them. He tells her to
contact Jack herself because Hammond has
arrived from Division with a phalanx of agents.
Hammond questions Tony about Chappelle's
disappearance. Hammond locks down CTU
based on a report by one of Tony's own staff
members accusing him of supporting a rogue
agent against Division's orders. Tony spots
Carrie glaring at him.
Jacobs informs Novick that Palmer will oppose
his removal from office by proving that Peter
Kingsley falsified the Cyprus recordings. Jacobs
requests access to intelligence databases in
order to make the connection to Kingsley. At first
Novick resists, but Jacobs appeals to Novick's
history with Palmer. Novick finally agrees to set
up a computer station for him to use.
Carrie leads a pair of Division agents through
CTU and they come upon a holding room where
the lock has been reconfigured. They kick the
door in and find a weakened Chappelle struggling
to stand.
Jack waits for the helicopter on the roof as he
tries to keep Hewitt lucid. Jack spots the CTU
helicopter and waves at it. Meanwhile, Carrie
briefs Chappelle on what she has found -- the
helicopter that Tony requested for Jack.
Chappelle orders her to bring the chopper back
to CTU. As Jack flags down the helicopter, the
pilot reverses direction and flies off. Jack calls
Michelle, and she tells him that Hammond
recalled it because he put the office in lockdown.
Jack then runs over to Hewitt, but Hewitt is
already dead.
Jack asks Michelle to set up an interface with
Hewitt's computer, and he heads back to the loft.
Novick comes into Palmer's holding room to
solicit a favor. U.S. stealth bombers have been
spotted over Turkey's airspace, but that country's
Prime Minister will not grant a flyover for the
planes unless he receives a personal request
from the President. The Prime Minister has not
been told that Palmer was discharged from
office. If Palmer speaks to the Prime Minister
under the pretense that he is still President, the
planes will not be attacked.
When Jack returns to the loft, Sherry yells at him
for leaving her after she was stabbed. Her
checks her minor wound and treats her. Since
Hewitt is dead, Jack will need her to get him
closer to Kingsley. Sherry will tell Kingsley that
she can deliver Hewitt because he still does not
know that Hewitt is dead. Suddenly, Jack falls
back in pain, placing his hand to his chest.
Sherry asks him what is wrong. Jack admits that
Kingsley's men stopped his heart when they
interrogated him. She encourages him to see a
doctor, but Jack insists that she help him get to
Kingsley. Sherry is to offer to trade Hewitt to
Kingsley in exchange for the evidence that
implicates her. Knowing that Kingsley will require
proof, Jack tells Sherry that Hewitt will do the
talking.
Kingsley speaks to Max again, and assures him
that the American government most likely does
not have the source files for the Cyprus
recordings because the bombers are still on
course for the Middle East. Kingsley guarantees
that Hewitt will be found and eliminated.
Chappelle has Tony placed under arrest. He
inquires about Michelle's participation, and Carrie
offers her services to find her.
Michelle calls Jack when she is connected to
Hewitt's computer. He tells her that Hewitt
described his program as one that can recreate
any voice. However, Hewitt's database has
samples of thousands of voices. To save time in
finding which one is Hewitt's, Jack asks Sherry
when she last spoke to him. Michelle retrieves a
taped phone call between Hewitt and Sherry from
the pervious night. The recording is of Sherry
asking Hewitt about his relationship with
Kingsley. Michelle gets a sample for the
integrator to recreate Hewitt's sound, and she
need only to type phrases in a separate file to be
spoken in Hewitt's voice. Michelle sees CTU
agents outside her van, and quickly leads Jack
through the process. The agents raid her van just
as Jack sees the program he's looking for on
Hewitt's monitor. As Jack calls out for her over
the phone line, Michelle is carted away in
handcuffs.
Palmer is lead down the federal building hallway
by Novick to a conference room. From a monitor
in the White House bunker, Prescott thanks
Palmer for his help. Palmer tells him that he is
only doing this to save the military men flying in
the planes over Turkey. Palmer is then
connected over the phone to the Turkish Prime
Minister to grant his personal request.
Kate enters the Matheson house looking for Kim,
who raises her gun in fear. "Who are you?" she
asks suspiciously. Kate explains that Jack sent
her, and she proves it by describing the events
that happened to Kim. Kim is wary to believe this
stranger, but Kate assures her that Jack trusted
her enough to send her for his daughter. As Kim
lowers the gun, Kate approaches her cautiously.
Michelle and Tony sit imprisoned in a CTU
holding room. Tony insists on taking all the blame
by saying that she was only following his orders.
Michelle won't let him lie for her because she did
what she thought was right. She tenderly takes
his hand.
Novick ushers Palmer back into his confinement
room, and tells him that Prescott will keep him
there until he makes his formal announcement at
a press conference. Novick awkwardly mentions
to his former boss that he granted Jacobs'
request for low security access on Palmer's
behalf. Novick slinks out of the room as Palmer
stands stoically.
As Kate drives to CTU, Kim asks her what her
relationship is with her father since she only just
met him the previous day. Kate has no clear
answer. Kim says that she wants him to be
happy since her mother died. Kate tells her that
she also lost her mother.
